Answer 1

Total earning in the summer = $1440

Explanation:

Earning per hour for Samuel = $7.50

No. of hours worked in a day = 6

Earning for a day = Earning per hour for Samuel *No. of hours worked in a day

Earning for a day = $7.50 *6 = $45

___________________________________________________

No of days worked in a week by Samuel = 4

Earning for week = Earning for a day *No of days worked in a week by Samuel

Earning for week = $45*4 = $180

No. of weeks worked in summer = 8

Total earning in the summer = Earning for week *No. of weeks worked in summer

Total earning in the summer = $180*8 = $1440 (Answer)
